What is church public relations?
Howard B. Weeks
The work of church public relations is not to lead us into subservience to public opinion, but rather to lift the level of public opinion itself—above the level of ignorance, speculation, and suspicion—so that the words of life may come forth clear and undistorted, that their power undimmed may be felt in the lives of men.

James J. Short, M.D.

No one would argue that such study and effort are a waste of time. Yet in the homeland have we done as much to prepare ourselves to communicate with those about us?

There is no question about it, exhibits leave an impression with the people who view them. The words "Seventh-day Adventist Church" will take on new meaning to them if they have caught a glimpse of what the name stands for through a properly prepared and adequately manned exhibit.

It has sometimes seemed that in the church's concern for religious liberty its objectives have not always been compatible with its equally valid concern for good public relations. A closer look at the roles to be played by these two activities will help to restore equilibrium.

IN SUCH a study as this it will, of course, not be possible to deal with all the problems of Hebrew chronology, but we will confine ourselves to a single area concerning which there has been much discussion. The period under review will be the century beginning in 841 B.C. with the accession of Athaliah in Judah and Jehu in Israel, and terminating with the end of the reign of Azariah in Judah and Pekahiah in Israel.
